    Video of CX-90

    That rear looks like a 2012-2016 CR-V. Very bubbly back there.

    Poll 2.5T Coolant Leak/Engine Replacement

    Far too many CX-9 2.5T motors being replaced. I was one of the early ones little over a year ago, but not related to coolant leaks. It was loss of compression in one of the cylinders. I had my CX-9 for another 15,000 miles before trading it in for a Bronco. It was fine for those 15,000 miles...

    Original mention was the Supra….no relation to the 3.0 V6

    Poll 2.5T Coolant Leak/Engine Replacement

    The 2JZ-GTE from the Supra was a phenomenal motor. The new Supra (cough cough)….BMW engine….is not the same.

    Mazda CX-50 announced

    Am I the only one that thinks the CX-50 looks like an Outback competitor? Mazda said the CX-5 isn’t going anywhere. With the first photos showing trail tires, wider/lower looking stance and more rugged, it looks like Mazda is going after Subaru here.

    Poll 2.5T Coolant Leak/Engine Replacement

    I’ve never used anything but 87 in my CX-9. Always ran fine. I didn’t lose faith in the brand, just going for something different this time around.

    Poll 2.5T Coolant Leak/Engine Replacement

    Sorry to hear engine replacements are becoming more of an issue. I think I was an early victim. My 2017 had its engine replaced at 45,000 just over a year ago. I’ve got about 62,000 on the clock right now. It’s been fine ever since, but I didn’t have a cracked head or coolant leak. It was loss...

    CX-9 2.5T Engine Replacement

    Let’s hope so, but it seems to be happening more frequently now. Plus, there was a head issue on the n/a 2.5’s that was wide spread.

    CX-9 2.5T Engine Replacement

    My CX-9 is a 2017 I should look on my paperwork to send what the part number for the block is. Wonder if it’s updated.

    Just noticed it one day. It just appeared. Honestly, didn’t think it was a big deal.

    Engine coolant leak 2016-2020 CX-9 Signature

    The Ford/Mazda partnership ended 12 years ago. There is zero Ford influence with the 2016+ CX-9. From the OP’s posts, the original thought was it needed an engine....then discovered it was the head. Perhaps they found the problem with the head after the motor was pulled?

    CX-9 2.5T Engine Replacement

    Rough idle when in gear. It felt like a motor mount failed. That’s what I thought it was, or gummed up spark plugs. Got my car back today. New long block. Runs great.

    CX-9 2.5T Engine Replacement

    My dealer said I’m the first case they had, but Mazda has seen a few of these cases around. My symptoms triggered tech line to recommend a compression test.
